MESA

Welcome to MESA

The Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) Program supports students
pursuing STEM majors with advising, academic enrichment, industry connections and
professional development. At Tacoma Community College, MESA is a welcoming space where
students gather to study and engage in science.

Our goal is for students to excel academically at TCC and transfer successfully to
a 4-year institution to earn their bachelor’s degree in STEM. Ultimately, we aim to
diversify the STEM workforce by addressing challenges historically underrepresented
students face in their education and career development.
